Diagnostic Utility of Gold Coast Criteria in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Andrew Hannaford,Nathan Pavey,Mehdi van den Bos,Nimeshan Geevasinga,Parvathi Menon,Jeremy M. Shefner,Matthew C. Kiernan,Steve Vucic +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the diagnostic utility of the recently proposed Gold Coast criteria was determined in ALS, with benefits evident in bulbar and limb onset disease patients, as well as atypical phenotypes.

Cortical hyperexcitability: Diagnostic and pathogenic biomarker of ALS
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the pathophysiological and diagnostic utility of cortical hyperexcitability in ALS using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a neurophysiological tool that provides a noninvasive and painless method for assessing cortical function.

Reproducibility of motor unit number index and MScanFit motor unit number estimation across intrinsic hand muscles
TL;DR: This work sought to evaluate the reproducibility of the motor unit number index (MUNIX) and MScanFit motor unitNumber estimation (MScan) when recording was performed over intrinsic hand muscles.

Association of Cortical Hyperexcitability and Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Mana Higashihara,Nathan Pavey,Mehdi van den Bos,Parvathi Menon,Matthew C. Kiernan,Matthew C. Kiernan,Steve Vucic +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) was used to determine whether cortical hyperexcitability was more prominent in cognitively impaired patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Cortical inhibition and facilitation are mediated by distinct physiological processes
Nathan Pavey,Parvathi Menon,M. Bos,Matthew C. Kiernan,Steve Vucic +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , threshold tracking transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to assess cortical excitability, with figure-of-eight coil oriented in posterior-anterior (PA), anterior-posterior (AP), and latero-medial (LM) directions.
